The Forest of Angularis, also known as the Fifth Forest, is a vast sacred forest in the Deep South which is situated in the Bailiwick of the Princely Precinct of the Elwynnese Union called the Emirate of Alalehzamin and Utasia which is known as the Vale of Angularis.

About
The Forest of Angularis is a large area of woodland and forest which partially contains the Hólmlendar. It is a lush environment which includes stone circles, misty dales, eerie ponds, sparkling streams, mysterious ruins and remains of lost civilizations, enigmatic lakes, secluded grottoes, and expansive, marshy lowlands. It stretches from the hinterland of the Shores of Angularis to the Barrowlands from which it is separated by Astopov's Dyke. Tree species to be found in the forest are elm, beech, ash, oak, olive trees and cedars. In the most primeval parts of the forest there are trees to be found with trunks as wide as castle gates.
